Who calls those penalties again?

I recall at least three bullshit ticky tack calls against the 'Hawks. This has been atrocious.

I don't think it's exactly what happened. I think he wanted to see where the goal line was in relation to what he had seen.

Yep and if the ref would have stuck with his original call and not changed his mind after Ben moved the ball. The Steelers would of had to decide whether to kick or not since they would not have overruled it to a TD.

There is ZERO doubt about that one.

Seattle has to make sure they don't make a boneheaded play here to end the half and get some points or at least go in down only 7-3 and then come out in the second half and play the same way minus the mistakes.

There is no doubt they are the better football team here. None at all.

Craptacular · 02-05-2006, 06:49 PM

oohhhh let's see that again

That's silly. All of the penalties called have been appropriate.

F**K when can the Seahawks catch a break

Same calls against the Steelers. I'm not seeing the "conspiracy."

wow I agree with Madden (not understanding that last play call)

Seattle taking a page out of the Eagles book.

st.cronin · 02-05-2006, 06:53 PM

Mike Holmgren has proven that he can win a Super Bowl with a Hall of Fame QB. So, I think the Steelers probably pull this one out, even with Cowher's bad record in big games.

kingfc22 · 02-05-2006, 06:53 PM

Don't like any of these recent playcalls

SunDevil · 02-05-2006, 06:53 PM

At least Hasselback is not puking on the field

What horrible clock management.

Long FG, Seattle better hope this doesn't get blocked. And now they give the Steelers tim to throw a long one if they want.

Senator · 02-05-2006, 06:54 PM

That would have been ugly at the high school level.

GrantDawg · 02-05-2006, 06:54 PM

Bizarro ending of the half.

miami_fan · 02-05-2006, 06:54 PM

Bad sequence there for Seattle

st.cronin · 02-05-2006, 06:54 PM

Mike Holmgren owes his team 3 points.

Craptacular · 02-05-2006, 06:54 PM

Seattle pretty much dominated, and is trailing at the half. Wow.

kingfc22 · 02-05-2006, 06:54 PM

Unreal that the Seahawks go into the half down after outplaying the Steelers.

Hope the 2nd half is just as close.

biological warrior · 02-05-2006, 06:54 PM

If the Seahawks lose this one they have no oe to blame but themselves.

Troy, you speaketh in a lot of absolutes.

Eaglesfan27 · 02-05-2006, 06:55 PM

Seattle hurt themselves with that bad clock management at the end of the half more than the refs hurt them in my opinion.

st.cronin · 02-05-2006, 06:55 PM

pffffffffft hahahaha

Is Holmgren stoned???

SunDevil · 02-05-2006, 06:55 PM

Cowher seems calm, Holmgren seems pissed off. Shouldn't this be the opposite?

Craptacular · 02-05-2006, 06:55 PM

During halftime analysis, I'm going back on the DVR for a few things.

DaddyTorgo · 02-05-2006, 06:56 PM

haha. so is holmgren saying that the booth guys say that the ball didn't cross the line? isn't the booth guy supposed to make the call there, and the ref on the field can't overrule him?

He said something about the ball not crossing the line, and something about ''upstairs'' and the refs.

I think the ref has jurisdiction, unless in college where the man above has the power.

AlexB · 02-05-2006, 06:59 PM

Thoughts so far...

The Star Spangles Banner was THE worst I have ever heard

Agree with all the calls bar Jerramy Stevens no-catch: should have been a fumble, and maybe one other - not sure of the rules in this case: if the pylon is the goalline, on DJack's OB catch at the end I thought he got his left foot in and hit the pylon with his right knee, although his foot then carried on OB - nobody made any noise, so I assume knee+pylon is OB

How is Randle El walking let alone playing after that hit?

Seahawks have been the better team, but are makong dumb mistakes at bad times

Mike Holmgren got his 2 minute offense playcalling from FOF

Every time I see Hines Ward, he reminds me more and more of Benny from Top Cat!

The game's simmering so far rather than boiling - intriguing rather than stunning

I dunno. I've said it before, but there isn't any doubt who the better team on the field was that half. They play the same exact way in the second half without the mistakes, Pittsburgh will lose the game.

If the Steelers make adjustments and come out better, the Hawks will be in trouble.

The thing Seattle has to be frightened of is that everything is going Pitt's way in terms of the officiating and the breaks. Hell, even the Stevens non "fumble" was a break for the Steelers. They got the spots, they got the penalty decisions, they got the close calls. Every single one of them. Sometimes the team of destiny crap applies.
